  Understanding Tiamat: The Mother of Chaos and Creation (to view more amazing artwork, click here)          Why Tiamat Still Resonates There are forces in myth that shake the foundations of our understanding and challenge us to see beyond the ordinary. Tiamat is one of those forces. She is the primal chaos, the vast ocean of creation, and the Mother of Dragons. Her story, emerging from Babylonian mythology, reminds witches that creation often begins in disorder and that transformation comes when we face the raw and untamed aspects of life. I first encountered Tiamat during a time when my world felt fragmented. My routines, my plans, and my expectations all seemed to unravel at once. Turning to her story, I imagined the great sea of chaos from which all things were born. In that vision, I realized that my life was mirroring her vast, limitless energy.

They arrive like storms. The Morrigan is one of them. She is the crow on the battlefield, the voice behind your transformation, the power that demands you remember who you truly are. For centuries, she has been called the Phantom Queen, the Great Queen, the Goddess of Battle and Prophecy. Yet beneath the armor and the blood, she is something more profound. She is sovereignty itself. When I first began my journey with The Morrigan, I did not expect gentleness. What I found instead was truth. She strips away illusion and shows you the bones of your strength. There were nights when I sat before my altar, black candle flickering, and felt her presence not as comfort but as a challenge.
